Episode 72A - What do I do when my race nutrition plan falls apart? | Jason Koop

Fueling Endurance - Nutrition for Runners, Cyclists & Triathletes

Ever been deep into the second half of a race, when things start falling apart? It could be bonking, cramping, gut issues or flavour fatigue. In the space of just a few minutes, your carefully constructed nutrition plan goes right out the window.

It’s easy to lose your head in situations like this, so in this podcast we welcome back legendary trail and ultra-running coach Jason Koop to share his simple framework to use when things go wrong on race day. It will help you refocus, reset, and go about addressing your issues, replacing panic with a plan. It might just help prevent a DNF, or sometimes, turn your race around for a great result.
